    I went and looked at my 2008 comments. Went back and stopped on Aug 26, 2008. We were all commenting on what a great concession speech she made that day and how it was a reflection of what could have been. Now, soon, she will get her chance again and here is hoping with all her experience in DC and the world, she will make awesome first female United States President. Took long enough. You go girl.

    Mrs. Clinton had also considered another Forest City Ratner property a few blocks away, at the Metro Tech complex. But the building she chose may have had an unfair advantage: It is bounded on the west by Clinton Street.

    by law.

    Why? Because that would formally qualify Clinton as a federal candidate for office under Federal Election Commission rules -- meaning that she would have just 15 days to formally declare her candidacy.

    "Signing a lease for a campaign headquarters indicates that Ms. Clinton has decided to run for federal office and that makes her a candidate under campaign finance laws," said Paul S. Ryan, senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center. "The bottom line is that if she's decided she's running for president, and if signing a lease is indicative of that much, then she is a candidate under federal law."

    As an aside - from the detailed campaign staff list - I can say that I've met several of those people, and while they were all very nice and super smart, I must add that her former Director of Advance, Jon Davidson, is one of the best looking men I have ever met in person. (Yes, that's superficial and has nothing to do with his talents, but I'm just adding color to this story:)  )

    If you believe what the Hillary campaign says, they will also have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

    Sorry, could not resist. :-).
